Ryu and Eska's appearance was heart shuddering. Let alone the juniors, Sky Gods who had experienced countless years of life couldn't seem to pry their eyes away from Eska. Her every movement carried the imposing air of a Goddess, the majesty of an Empress, the grace of an angel. She seemed to be both a part of Ryu and her own separate existence all at once, the aura of a Sky God who stood at the Transcendent Realm radiating out in every direction.
On the Sixth Heaven, she would already be a nigh untouchable existence. But now, she hung from the arm of a junior without the slightest hint of rejection. And yet, Ryu didn't seem out of place in the slightest. To the shock of the onlookers, it even seemed like he belonged there. His aura wasn't shrouded, it instead seemed to elevate Ryu.
While a Supreme Sky God hanging from the arm of a World Sea Realm expert would usually cause gazes of derision and even some disdain, some feeling that the woman in this situation would value herself too lowly, these thoughts couldn't even seem to begin to form, let alone be spewed.
The way his white robes, etching with lines of sky blue danced in the wind, the way his hair seemed to radiate its own light, glowing like the beautiful fog of a white-gold nebular, the way his great swordstaffs sung to his back, echoing with his every step...
The swordstaffs radiated a silver color, their blades as thin as a cicada's wings. Their spines were entirely cut out, living nothing but the sharp rim of the blade behind. Their polearms were simple and unadorned, and even seemed to be somewhat dull. But the undeniable air of an Heritage Grade weapon resonated, and yet seemed to already carry some of the mystery of a God Weapon.
The gathering wasn't small, as was expected for the opening of the Complete Heavenly Path. It could even be uttered that it was even larger than usual with those of the Seventh Heaven having come to take part. And yet, the appearance of Ryu stole the complete center of attention.
Jojo grit her teeth, grinding them with such strength that it seemed that she might very well crack them. This bastard had actually appeared with yet another woman, did he have no sense of shame?
She really wanted to project some disdain toward this woman, but she truly couldn't find even the slightest flaw on her. On top of that, it was actually yet another Sky God, making her far stronger than herself. It was infuriating.
Even so, this only made Jojo disdain Ryu all the more. She felt that the only way a junior could possibly have such a woman was by relying on his family's power. It was clear that this Ryu was no different from any one of the other annoying young masters she had to deal with every day.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze land on her. Jojo's spine tingled for a moment, her own gaze sharpening. However, when she realized that this gaze was actually from Ryu, she couldn't help but frown. He was actually so strong? She actually felt a small hint of threat coming from him, she definitely hadn't sensed this before.
While Ryu had dodged her attacks before, she hadn't been fighting seriously. On top of that, she had her own methods to deal with Ryu's Spacetime Soul Nature. But now...
She almost subconsciously gripped her sword, only barely stopping herself at the last moment. After a long while, her tensed muscles relaxed and she grinned. She had actually almost attacked out here, she was too eager. No matter what, a Dao Sovereign wasn't someone she could ignore. She would have to wait until they were inside to test whether this was a paper tiger or not.
Ryu, though, scanned Jojo before glancing over her armor as though he could see right through it.
Unfortunately for her, he could
He smiled and nodded to himself. Indeed, what a beautiful body.
Jojo suddenly felt as though she had been stripped naked. The uncomfortable feeling spread all throughout her body like a raging itch. She suddenly wanted to strip completely, just to find that itch and deal with it.
That feeling vanished as soon as Ryu looked away, but it left behind a billowing fury. 'I'll kill him!' she roared in her mind.
Ryu chuckled. Was it noble to use such methods? Absolutely not. However, if he didn't piss this type of woman off and then conquer her, what use would there be in living? This was the price to pay for attacking him, not once, but thrice.
Ryu made it to the encirclement of the Radiant Star Sect. At the forefront, it was they and the Fading Star Sect who stood. To his surprise, Selheira seemed to actually have intentions of entering this time, though he probably shouldn't have been. It was probably only this sort of matter that could interest her.
Her gaze and smile were still as gentle as ever, she didn't seem to notice that Ryu had a woman on his arm at all, something that left Jojo quite exasperated. She had tried to goad this woman into action several times in recent days, but she hadn't reacted at all. It seemed that she was wrong about the kind of relationship these two had.
Ryu welcomed Selheira and Aika, but he seemed to be waiting for something, and indeed, it didn't take long for it to appear.
Primus suddenly appeared in the skies, his expression just as indifferent. He waved a hand and a power surrounded Ryu to the point that he was completely immobilized. He didn't explain anything else and simply sat in the skies, focusing on a piece of flesh that he was dissecting.
Ryu couldn't even change his facial expression, it was as though he was completely frozen in time. But, he didn't need Primus to explain to him what was going on.
Primus had uttered he wouldn't allow anyone to touch Ryu for 10 years, but he couldn't enter the Heavenly Path at his level, not without the purpose to completely obliterate it.
So... why would he let Ryu enter at all?
